It looks like you've accidentally added a slash to quote a quote ...
check your code.
However, I'd highly suggest using another table and doing a JOIN when
you're at this size of ENUM and you plan on adding/removing values.
Add standards_topic_id to INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL and create a table:
standards_topics ( id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, topic_name
VARCHAR(50));
Then insert the values into standards_topics and use a JOIN in your query.
For example ...
SELECT * FROM table
LEFT JOIN standards_topics ON standards_topic_id = standards_topics.id
WHERE .... AND topic_name = "Foundation and Government";
You'll find the values a lot easier to maintain this way.
