Not a country-western fan myself, but that particular song is a straight-up American classic.

Via Wikipedia, they note the following about the writer of “Harper Valley PTA,” country star Tom T. Hall:

In 2005, Hall noted that he had witnessed a similar scenario when he was a child in Olive Hill, Kentucky, in the mid-1940s; the mother of one of Hall’s classmates had drawn the ire of local school board members for her modern ways, and the school was taking out their frustrations on her daughter. The mother gave a verbal tongue-lashing at the school, an iconoclastic move that was unheard of at the time.
