 :::I'm adding to the consensus that the addition is a bad idea.  Intelligent design is a religiously-motivated political tactic that has been rejected as worthless by the scientific community.  Intelligent design is not a ""threat"" to the theory of evolution.  The ""compromise"" is still objectionable because of the inappropriate weight it gives to intelligent design.  Intelligent design is recognized by the scientific and judicial community as an updated version of the religiously-motivated argument from design discredited during Darwin's lifetime.
