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.

ID is an attempt to not offer an alternative theory that science gives a shred of respect, but an attempt to bring in creationism into science classrooms.
Like with all things in science, unless ID can find compelling evidence and support within a large chunk of the scientific community, it should not be taught alongside real science.
Public schools are supposed to be secular, I would not want my child being given lessons that ID is real science. If ID supporters want their children to be taught this, then they certainly have church, after school programs, home, etc..
