NOW THIS IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL!

The furor over Terri Schiavo has brought protesters from across the country to hold a nonstop vigil outside the hospice where she is staying. But the protests and media zoo that has resulted is getting out of hand, as several hundred students at a nearby elementary school are being relocated until the situation ends.

Parents of students at Cross Bayou Elementary School in Pinellas Park were notified this weekend that due to safety concerns, law enforcement officials had requested the Pinellas County School District to move the 600 children. They will be relocated to the Gus A. Starvos Institute in Largo, about four miles away, and most will be relocated to two other schools in the area. Officials say they are uncertain when Cross Bayou will reopen.
