i think that would an interesting section raveneye...but the proponents of ID would go apeshit if you had a 3 week mini section in a highschool bio class explaining how the ID concept is superfluous, although certainly possible.

That's really fallicious reasoning and outside the scope of the topic, isn't it? I mean, the topic is about whether or not ID should even be mentioned in a classroom, whether you can have a paragraph about it in a book, or whether we should blacklist the information, regalating it to a form of mysticism akin to the moon landing.
On another level, perhaps more importantly, it's an argument about whether or not a devout religious person should be allowed to hold a position of scientific authority, regardless of his academic achievements or prior record.
And on yet another level, it's about the absurdity of the election system in the Kansas education system. (Surely this was changed by now...?)
It's not really a topic about ID, and it's certainly not a topic as to whether or ID is better than mainstream evolution theory.
Honestly, I think we've talked way more about it here than anyone would have thought to put in the science books or course lectures.
