Default Oh No, Hefeweizen Floaters!

So, I've steeped 8oz. of Red Wheat and 4oz. honey malt for 30 minutes to improve my hefe. When removing the sack, it opens, and now my wort is loaded with floaters. I tried to remove as much as I could with a strainer prior to adding the LME and DME but it is still filled with debris. I'm not sure if I should secondary because I'm told you want to keep the yeast in. Should I try to filter before I pitch the yeast? HELP!

Thanks, Potter. I let it fly, it's chilling in the ale pail as we speak!
