I believe the answer is:

blinkered

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'narrow views' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives sometimes define each other.

'terribly kind rebel' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates an anagram.
'kind'+'rebel'='kindrebel'
'kindrebel' anagrammed gives 'BLINKERED'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for blinkered that I've seen is " Unsighted by prejudice etc".)
