"If parents want to home school their kids and teach them ID or send them to private religious schools where Darwin is a dirty word, fine. They will grow up sweeping the floors of Japanese, Swedish, or Chinese bio-tech factories rather than owning them."
Wow. It seems we are already doing enough with our public education system to guarantee that our children will be floor sweepers. What part of the nascent "ID" movement is responsible for this??
My son (6th grade) sees the logic behind ID as opposed to the pop culture myth of Darwinism. He can out-think and out-reason any of the children in his class. He discovered syphoning when he was four years old; I didn't believe it was anything but a magic trick until I was in seventh grade. He stands out because he THINKS FOR HIMSELF! Most of our kids don't; they simply regurgitate what they are "programmed" with in their classrooms.
You are way off base with this statement. Darwinism plays a very small role in modern science. Simple analysis of the mathmatics involved in random mutations that result in changes beneficial to an organism show the virtual impossibility of the theory.
I have been a firm believer in ID since my late teens and still managed to get straight A's in my college biology, physics and environment classes. It is entirely possible to learn a flawed theory without believing it to be a valid argument. THAT is the reality of science, not some lemming-like pursuit of a theory that has morphed from being an attempt to explain speciation to a humanistic construct that seeks to explain all existence.

THE DEMONS ARE STIRRING...THE CANDLE IS GUTTERING
In what way does belief in the quasi-religion of Darwinist Evolution qualify one to be a competent, successful engineer or scientist?? I understand the theory (achieving the highest grades in Evolutionary Science in my college years), but that doesn't mean I have to believe it.
