If you are referring to those mentioned in the documentary Expelled, you might want to do your own research about the facts proposed. That documentary is flawed in so many more ways than one, and I'm not saying this just because I believe whole-heartedly in Evolution. For instance, there was one woman who said she was fired after teaching ID. She was not tenured; she was, in fact, hired temporarily for a semester or two and was not asked to return. That isn't 'fired'. There was another man working for a museum or something that fired him. He was a volunteer who, it turns out, had not showed up for months. This is all off the top of my head but I promise that if you research these people you will find that you were dealt misinformation.
I'm not telling you not to believe in ID. Personally, I'm Areligious but I think religion is a beautiful part of life. I'm just arguing the scientific validity of it.
