What is wrong with questioning? Certainly it is encouraged in school.
The teacher wants to know if the lesson is getting across clearly. Yet many students don't question because they assume everyone else knows what the lesson is about and they don't want to appear stupid. The result for these students is ignorance. That's why teachers ask questions directed to each of the students - to assess the success of the teaching. Questions hone the mind into sharpness.
Many religions make it very clear that questioning is frowned upon if not disallowed if the "believer" is to remain within the fold. The concept is that belief questioned, is belief denied.
