I think it'd be impossible for ideology (and philosophy) to be completely absent from science. Simply put, scientists are people, and they (we) aren't going to be perfectly impartial. The best that can be hoped for is that it takes a back seat to the scientific method; that the search for "fact" overrides notions of what we want to find.
Education, on the other hand, is all about philosophy and ideology. One person's knowledge will be another's controversy (though I'm not suggestion education is completely subjective). In an indirect way, I'm suggesting that I expect ID to get more airplay, in part due to its appearance in scholastic circles.
I don't necessarily think that ID in schools is a bad thing. Assuming nothing changes, I would simply object to the idea that it belongs in a science class.
