I think it's a lazy media story (not from Rebecca, of course, but more of a "well, we've got some free space...let's run a story on what's worrisome about kids these days! Rainbow parties? Jenkem? RAINBOW JENKEM PARTIES?!?), aided by each generation's rose-tinted vision of itself.

The rebooted Community is indeed awesome. I stopped watching partway through last season, but in addition to the "owls" quote that Nussbaum opens her article with: “That’s like me blaming owls for how much I suck at analogies” (Brita), it feels like the show was its soul back.
