Peter Thiel Has New Initiative To Pay Kids To "Stop Out Of School"

Today at our TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Clarium Capital President Peter Thiel http://www.crunchbase.com/person/peter-thiel sat down with our own Sarah Lacy to talk about a whole range of issues. But at the end of the dicussion, he disclosed a bit of news.

Thiel is starting a new initiative that will offer grants of up to $100,000 for kids to drop out of school. Yes, you read that right. Though that’s not how Thiel puts it. Instead, he calls it "stopping out of school."
