They didn't go after the Jehovah's Witnesses or Amish - but ----

[Ms. Toad]

27. I'm not 80,

and the kids in the Tinker case are my peers.

Those wishing to make a point about patriotism (generally) aren't going after individuals in those religions now because state requiremens fo recite the pledge, or sing the anthem, or participate in prayer, are settled law (settled by the cases you are dismissing as "80 years old.&quot

That does not mean there are no challenges - especially in the wake of 9-11, and the wave of nationalism that followed, there have been more disputes. This is a decent summary of more recent cases. https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/first-amendment-center/topics/freedom-of-speech-2/k-12-public-school-student-expression/pledge-of-allegiance/

And - I can tell you that I, personally, have been challenged numerous times for not participating in the pledge or the national anthem. I'm an older white female.

Largely, Jehovah's Witnesses, Amish, Quakers, Mennonites are not multi-millionaires participating in a multi-million dollar weekly nationalistic event with a nationwide audience. (I.e.responding to the small, quiet regular and continuing stands of faith and do not provide Trump and the right wing jerks the same kind of platform to rile up jingoistic nationalism that the football industry does.)
