There is a lot of bias and blindness on both sides. The religious element of society is to large to ignore. Better to understand it's impact on our lives then to rage about how wrong proponents of ID are.

Then teach it as it is, teach it as creationism and teach it in social studies in a section on religions of the world or something. That's fine.
But don't teach it as a science, because it isn't.
Let me ask this, would you support teaching in schools that all Natives in North America are descended from Israel to observe the Mormon beliefs? Despite there being no evidence for it and there being DNA evidence to the contrary?
