was finally acquitted by the Ontario Court of Appeal on August 28, 2007. In 1978, a protest by church members demanded that three titles be censored from high-school reading lists: Margaret Laurence's The Diviners, J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, and John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. A meeting with the Huron County Board of Education, based in Clinton, was attended by prominent Canadian writers including the local resident Alice Munro along with local church members. The school board voted to ban The Diviners from the five high schools within its jurisdiction because of sexual references and objectionable language. This event prompted the Book and Periodical Council of Canada to form a Freedom of Expression Committee later that year and was the driving factor behind a library-driven Freedom to Read week, which continues to occur across Ontario libraries. Demographics Infrastructure Transportation Clinton is at the junction of Highway 4 (Victoria Street), Highway 8 (Huron Street and Ontario Street) and County Road 4 (Albert Street). Education Public education in Clinton is managed by the Avon Maitland District School Board, who oversee Central Huron Secondary School and Clinton Public School (elementary). Catholic education is the responsibility of the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board, who manage St. Anne's Catholic Secondary School and St. Joseph's Catholic School (elementary). Due to Clinton's central location in the county, most students are bused into the schools from surrounding areas.
