The Dover decision is almost certainly the death of ID's attempt to sneak into science classes.

There are perhaps a few scientific proponents of ID that have successfully disguised their religious motivations in the issue. But I doubt there will be any school board that will ever promote ID that won't also have a religious paper trail. That will kill the ID-in-school project flat.

Even if the pushers of ID manage to groom a "stealth" school board, it won't matter. The Dover decision totally demolishes the scientific credibility of ID. They brought out their big guns (Behe, etc.) and they made fools of themselves. Their big text, that Pandas book, was shown to be a warmed-over creationism tract. ID is dead, and the republican party is saved from this ghastly embarrassment. [New tagline.]
