Okay, lets play pretend. What would be the material taught in science class when the topic of ID came up?
"Now class, we going to learn about Intelligent Design. We live in a complex universe... so complex that we don't fully understand it yet. Therefore it must have been created by a designer. But we don't know anything about the designer. That concludes out lesson on Intelligent Design,"

It would start with teaching the principles of decting design used in other disciplines and bring up the question as to whether we can apply those principles to nature. The next logical step would be to examine the question as to whether nature exhibits those principles. A parallel approach would be to examine the probability of evolution occurring through chance. (There need not be any dispute that evolution according to the dictionary definition occurred) The identity or nature of the designer would be left to philosophy or theology classes.
