“This would make head covering on a par with women not teaching. Both are indirect and so it must be considered whether both could be cultural.”

I think there’s probably a better way of putting it, though– because there isn’t really any way teaching, or teaching from a position of authority, can be considered a cultural practice in the same way head coverings are. I think it’s not that both women not teaching and women’s head coverings could be cultural– it’s that they are both related to time-and-place specific situations and are thus not universal or unending.
