Roald Dahl controversy: Augustus Gloop actor Michael Bollner defends author’s story amid censorship row
Michael Bollner, who played Augustus Gloop in the original Willy Wonka movie, defends Roald Dahl's story amid controversy over recent alterations to remove potentially offensive language. Bollner argues that the story is not politically incorrect and should remain unchanged. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also opposes the changes, emphasizing the importance of preserving literary heritage. Authors Philip Pullman and John Dougherty express differing views on the matter, with Pullman suggesting letting Dahl's works fade away if offensive and Dougherty criticizing the alterations as overreach. The Roald Dahl Story Company defends the changes as minor and carefully considered.

In Huntington Beach, A Move To Censor Children's Books With 'Sexual Content'
The Huntington Beach City Council passed a resolution to restrict children's access to books with sexual content in city libraries, requiring such books to be placed in adult sections and necessitating parental consent for minors to check them out. The resolution, passed by a conservative majority, also establishes a review board to evaluate children's books. The measure faced significant opposition, with critics labeling it as censorship and a violation of First Amendment rights. The ACLU and First Amendment Coalition opposed the resolution on constitutional grounds, arguing it could lead to unnecessary restrictions on classic literature.

Laurent, a Legion d’honneur recipient, is survived by his second wife Phyllis Rose, his children, and his brothers.
