Please. This has nothing to do with a so-called "liberal agenda of constantly attacking christianity". Please remove your tin foil conspiracy protecting hat.
This is simply an attempt to keep public schools secular, as they should be.
ID, as has been pointed out, does not automatically point to GOD. No one says, GOD but really... let's be honest here. That's the only reason it has the support of so many in the camp that wants to see more religion in schools.
Again, I am fine with religion, ID, etc. in a philosphy class but it really has no place in a science class.
I can agree, however, that we do not know where life sprang from. Most scientists will list a litany of ideas as to where life came from and will even give a wink and a nod to some "higher form of life" being responsible for this... This only becomes an issue when it is the ONLY answer to this question.
