I don’t have a sense of how many schools still do this, in practice.   Yes, it’s wacky!    My wife used to get in trouble in grade school for refusing to get up from her desk and say the pledge.   Her dad, a Jewish veteran of WWII, would bail her out from the principal’s office and they’d get ice cream.

I remember doing it a few times, and thinking, “Seriously?”
