Philip Johnson (who I assume you're referring to) did not think up ID. Johnson critiqued Neo-Darwinian philosophy and argumentation.
If anyone is credited with "thinking up" modern ID, it would have to be cryptographers, forensics, SETI researchers, and archeologists. All guys like Dembski, Behe, Meyer and Woodward did was apply it to the realm of biology.
ID should not be taught in schools though, in my opinion, as anything other than theoretical or philosophical. It hasn't had time to establish itself as a scientific discipline in full form...yet. Heck, even 90% of ID proponents attach all kinds of baggage to what would otherwise be a completely uncontroversial claim--complex specified information is most likely the product of intelligent agency. Period.
