The school is fully within its rights to set appearence standards, especially for children that age.
Likewise, the "rights" of the one six-year-old to wear his hair style a certain way do not extend to ruining the school picture for the other children/parents.
If the mother truly consented then I don't see a problem, but from a litigation standpoint, I probably would have sent the kid home or kept him out of the picture.
Besides, he could always put the blue back in it when he got home and AFTER the class picture.
