Parents like this are why schools do that whole "peanut-free" thing. One litigation-happy parent or one serious or fatal incident and the liability goes through the roof, not to mention having the fatality be something that could have been prevented.
The public school is a little more reasonable--they have a "peanut free" table in the lunchroom, but peanut problems are addressed according to classroom. We do have a couple of kids at my son's school who are peanut-allergic to the point of showing a reaction to airborne elements. But the whole school doesn't revolve around the peanut kids. And the peanut kids' lives don't revolve around the terrible dread of knowing somebody, somewhere, is opening a bag of peanuts. Their lives revolve around their schoolwork. And Nintendo DS and Bakugan balls.
