I was dubious, so I googled.
According to this[1], 21 states require cursive as part of the curriculum, and some admittedly older data[2] suggests that 90% of students get some amount of cursive handwriting instruction.

Honestly, I really do not understand all the complaning about cursive. Learning to read and write was harder (I imagine cause I don't actually remember struggling with it, it just came naturally) . Learning cursive is just a simple extension of it.
My memory of school was everything was required to be turned in cursive, but I was so bad at it that I wrote everything in print, then wrote a version in cursive, and then turned in both versions so there was one legible version and one version to fulfill the rules. It was a pain and I hated it, so it's a bad memory that it still feels cathartic to complain about.
