I can understand the mother's point but...
The boy felt comfortable when the picture was taken.
No one else seems uncomfortable yet.
The group of students seem to ignore the color of the individuals involved.
I wonder if the school could simply write a disclaimer stating that the possible interpretation of the photo could be negative but that the participants were completely at ease with their situation and did not intend any racial slurs in the taking of the photo. Then there wouldn't be the expense of reprinting the books, and time spent to handle it all. Stickers stuck in the front of the book would be simple, cost-effective, and pre-empt further problems from the picture.
Otherwise I'd personally have no problem with the picture.
