*Sigh*
No one should ever be called an apikorus because they have an honest, legitimate question.
No one should ever use the term “apikorus” to silence an honest, legitimate questioner (which, for most kids and teens is the case) because they are presented a question that they cannot answer or don’t want to confront.
I make it a point with my kids to tell them that they are free to ask me any question. I also make it a point to tell them that I don’t have all the answers and that one (even one in a position of authority like a parent or teacher) should never be afraid to say “I don’t know.” I try to give them the best answers I can and sometimes point them in the direction of someone who might be more qualified than I to answer a particular question.
