Paris Hilton protest calls for closure of Utah school Paris Hilton has been speaking out about abuse she said she suffered at a boarding school in Utah, and on Friday she took her push nearly to the school’s front doorsPROVO, Utah -- Paris Hilton has been speaking out about abuse she said she suffered at a boarding school in Utah, and on Friday she took her push nearly to the school’s front doors. Hilton organized a protest in a park near Provo Canyon School, along with several hundreds of others who share stories of abuse they say they suffered there or at similar schools for troubled youth. Owners of the school declined comment Friday, pointing to a statement on the school website that said the previous owners sold the school in 2000. When she was 17, Hilton was finally sent to what she describes as “the worst of the worst”: Provo Canyon School in Utah. Hilton and others at the protest vowed to push forward until all schools that mistreat youth are shut down.
