Has it come to the point where you won't accept a very minor inconvenience to help someone not die?

Part of having an allergy is that you adjust your lifestyle to minimize risks. Everyone warns you that you may be exposed to peanuts these days. If you have such an allergy, it is your responsibility to not put yourself in a situation where you might suffer a reaction. It is not mine.
Now, at least the Newsday story indicates the mother made inquiries before hand. That at least earns her a bit more sympathy than I was willing to give based on the first story. However, AA's rebuttal makes it clear that they will not guarantee that no peanuts will be found on their planes.
If several people representing AA made promises that weren't kept, then certainly, an apology is in order, along with a review of how the airline handles such requests.
But I'm sorry, suing over some non-existent civil right because you expect the rest of the world to change to suit your needs is ridiculous.
