"ID theory has not enough evidence for it to be taught in school. Maybe if there is more evidence for it, but little or none exists for it."

Translation: "I have successfully ignored the evidence in favor of ID."

Read Spetner, Behe, and Dembski for mountains of evidence for ID. See the links at the bottom of the online version of my article.

If ID is intelligent, then why the heck are there so many extinct species. If a species goes extinct, I fail to see what was so intelligent about its design.

Further, if we humans allow any species to go extinct are we not destroying the work of the creator ? Should we not immediately adopt a zero tolerance policy on species extinction ?

I and many other Es here have read them (well, I haven't read Spetner). The arguments are very weak. Behe's argument ignores the fact that evolution may involve loss of function and that much evolution is neutral. Dembski's Explanatory Filter, among other weaknesses, never explains how unknown (i.e. future) naturalistic explanations can be ruled out.
