When the average age for people to become sexually active is 13 then you need to start teaching them young because there are kids who are starting way under the average, and yes some of them are under the age of eight by their own choice. Most sex ed at that age focuses on how the body works, including the anatomy of both sexes, what is the shame in that? It isn't like kids aren't learning about sex outside of the classroom, they deserve a reliable source of information and the internet and their peers are far from reliable.

Yeah she should probably know what a penis is, but should she really know what the penis does to make babies and be able to tell me what masterbating is. I know in some ways it makes sense, but I just think 8 is too young to know all of that.
