OK, before anybody gets all up tight, let me say that I remember my high school doing the exact same thing back in the 70s. We could dress up as 50s greasers or girls. The girls could dress as guys or 50s greaser chicks.
My sisters say it was pretty common annual event in high schools as far back as the 1940s and 1950s.
Girls show up dressed as boys. Boys show up dressed as girls. Ha-ha. All in fun. No big deal.
Did your school ever do this?
Now, don't get me wrong, I would question doing this with grade school kids.

Kids' Cross-Dressing Event Draws Ire
Wisconsin Grade School's Costume Tradition Enrages Christian Radio Network

(AP) An elementary-school event in which kids were encouraged to dress as members of the opposite gender drew the ire of a Christian radio group, whose angry broadcast prompted outraged calls to the district office.
Students at Pineview Elementary had been dressing in costume all last week as part of an annual school tradition called Wacky Week. On Friday, students were encouraged to dress either as senior citizens or as members of the opposite sex.
A local resident informed the Voice of Christian Youth America on Friday. The Milwaukee-based radio network responded by interrupting its morning programming for a special broadcast that aired on nine radio stations throughout Wisconsin. The broadcast criticized the dress-up day and accused the district of promoting alternative lifestyles.
