Are schoolchildren in the US still required to recite the pledge of allegiance...?

No, children can not be forced to stand and recite the pledge.

The Supreme Court ruled, in 1943, that it is unconstitutional to compel students to salute the flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Required, no.

Strongly pressured, yes.
