MIThopeful16, I strongly disagree.

I find it baseless to claim that older persons are close minded purely due to their age, or because of their “resources” (whatever that was supposed to mean).

Our age group is traditionally more “liberal” (although I am about the pinnacle of arch-conservatism, so it obviously doesn’t go for everyone).
The parents you call close minded are the same ones that went through the 60s and “hippy” culture, and contributed to it as they were younger at the time.

One could argue that they’ve learned better than that from life experience.
