It sounds a little like Morton Rhue's (?sp) _The Wave_, which I believe
was filmed at some stage (possibly early eighties, and possibly as a TV
series for a teen audience). Similar scenario, but in that case the
students were encouraged to join a club organised by their history
teacher, who then told them that everyone not in the club
was "bad".
