''After'' is a Young Adult book written by Francine Prose.
Tom is a sophomore at Central High, one of the “smart jocks” a normal guy at a normal school. And during math class, that normalcy shatters. A school the next town over is shot up by angry students, and in the wake of this tragedy, school at Central begins to change. A Grief and Crisis counselor, Dr Willner, takes over, instituting new rules at every turn. Metal detectors, 'random searches', a ban on things like Chewing Gum, hats, even the color red. At first the students make their compromises, but when those that do not comply begin to vanish, Tom realizes that nothing good can come of sacrificing freedom for safety.

* ParanoiaFuel: The rules are always changing, break one and it's a one way ticket to 'Operation Turnaround'[read: your grave]. What might some of these rules be? Did you have a cell phone on your person at school? What about gum? Anything red? Did you eat lunch alone? Oh, and Big Brother's watching you. And by watching you, I mean ''really'' watching you. Yes, even 50 miles away. Remember your sweet history teacher? The one who didn't report that sweet, A++ girl who broke a rule? Yeah, she had a "Health Emergency". And don't expect your parents to help you, they've been brainwashed. Everything is for your own good. And they could come for you at any time- right in the middle of a normal school day, even if you've done nothing wrong. Have fun at school, dear.

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: the school slowly starts to try to brainwash the students. One of the protagonist's friends points out that the documentary playing on the bus that day is on World War II, and was stating that the atom bombs were dropped on Japanese ''wilderness areas''. He says, " Dude, Listen to that. I don't think that's true." followed by another friend asking, "How stupid ''were'' we?"
