If they include a disclaimer that the only intelligent design with any evidence are the designs of intelligent humans.
ID as the creationists want it taught is neither intelligent nor even a cogent hypothesis.
I think ID'st would be quite happy with teaching that intelligent design is one of the known mechanisms by which biological systems come into existence....even if it included a disclaimer that they only known examples are the result of human intellect.
I suspect there would be atheists who fight it and still claim it isn't science. In the future, the very near future, most lineages of life on this planet will be the result of intelligent design. The lineage you and I belong to....its origin is unknown. Its origin could be designed or could be the result of happenstance.
After generations are taught about intelligent design, some will ponder if our origin is the result of intelligent design. Intelligent design isn't going away anytime soon.
