From the article Study: Students who resist change see teachers as biased,

Now a study has concluded that this sort of bias does not actually exist and that the students who perceive it — whether coming from the left or from the right — are those who are most resistant to change in their own lives and attitudes. In contrast, students who are open to new ideas, no matter what their political persuasion, show little perception of faculty bias.

I wonder where that puts me. I started out as resisting change, but came to appreciate it around sophomore year.  If you read this blog, you will probably surmise that now that I am old and crotchety,  I am back to resisting.  However, now that I am older and wiser, I can sometimes rise above my initial resistance.
