Depending on how the ID is framed, ID isn't necessarily inconsistent with evolution. The problem is that it isn't science. It isn't necessarily wrong, either. It's just not scientific, and shouldn't be "dignified" with the title of science. It follows that if it is to be taught in public schools, it should be taught in social studies rather than science classes, and be an object of study similar to Zoroastrianism.
Although I think that's the correct position, it's clear to me that that is way too nuanced to work in the real world. So it probably should be left to be taught in churches.
