In the grand scheme of things, pink hair is NOT such a big deal. While on one hand that could mean that the school shouldn't care so much, the parent should also be teaching the kid to pick her battles.

This sounds like a battle worth fighting though. You have to stand up for yourself, and learn to do that when you're young, otherwise people will walk all over you.
Besides, pink hair on girls is sexy.
