I assume you are referring to the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. The answer is no. It is federal law, under the First Amendment's free speech clause, that children may not be required to recite the Pledge. Children who don't want to do it, for whatever reason, can stand or sit respectfully while the others recite the Pledge. Schools are prohibited from forcing children to recite the pledge, and schools are prohibited from punishing those students for refusing to recite the pledge. However, any students who harass those who don't say the Pledge are subject to discipline or even expulsion.

No, it is not a law that school children must recite the Pledge of Allegiance. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that students cannot be compelled to participate in the Pledge, as it violates their First Amendment rights. Schools can offer the Pledge as an option, but participation should be voluntary.
As of 2021, 34 states have laws or policies that require schools to allow time for reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. However, individual students cannot be compelled to participate if they choose not to.

The United States is the country among the United States, Mexico, and India that requires its citizens to recite a pledge of allegiance.
The Supreme Court ruled that mandatory recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools was unconstitutional in 1943 in the case of West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette. This decision upheld the First Amendment rights of students, allowing them to refuse participation in the pledge based on freedom of speech and religion. However, students can still choose to recite the pledge voluntarily in schools.
