Schools do teach, and once students are out of elementary school they never write a letter of cursive again. So in effect, it could’ve been not taught at all.
Comment on Why, in English at least, is the letter W called "double U" and not "double V"?

Schools still teach cursive in mine
Schools in my country also recommend not using ballpoint pens

In the states, the question is largely left to individual states. It was dropped from common core (the federal standards that are… laughable.)
It’s harmful except that schools have a fairly limited instructional time and teaching one thing excludes another.
In my experience, a lot of the people that insist cursive is necessary are people that want to exclude certain things.
