But yes, whining and bitching while collecting paychecks is sure much easier, esp. when backed by administration and state.

Peanut allergies and asking why a kid has less than an A is not helicopter parenting. Parents SHOULD be concerned about those things. You missed my point completely.
I'm talking about parents asking teachers for a status on where their kid has been all day and who they have interacted with to make sure they are distancing. That is ridiculous. Don't trust your kid? Sounds like you were a shitty parent.
Yes there are plenty of people whining and bitching while collecting paychecks, but there are also lots of situations that are made 100x worse by poor funding and leadership, most of it voted on by the very people complaining.
