When only one side of an argument is taught, it is dogma.
The Nazis brainwashed their youth leaders with only one side of the story.
Dogma or Brainwashing, take your pick, its not science.
A good way to decide what to teach in balance to Evolution would be to hold debates in front of students between all competing ideas, and let the students decide which was the best competing argument.
But 'educators' know that their beloved Evolution cannot stand up to ID, and so they will do whatever it takes to make sure Evolution has no classroom competition.

Hence the reason it can't be taught in science class. It could be discussed in philosophy or comparative religion, however. If you know what scientific evidence exists for ID, please share it. No one else will.
