17th edition (November, 2022)
The primary purpose of this 77 page guide is to throw a lifeline to parents and students who are trying to stay afloat in a hostile society and education system that is determined to undermine America’s historical values and morals. The guide answers over 40 FAQs on topics relating to: Racism, Critical Race Theory, BLM, DEI, American History, Civil Rights, Religion, LGBTQ Issues, Free Speech, and Tolerance. Links are provided throughout.
Specifically, America’s Culture Wars accomplishes three things: (1) To explain the inner workings of the often confusing philosophies that continue to inundate us and our children. (2) To refute these insidious beliefs through evidence and reasoned arguments. (3) To offer an apologetic for traditional, moral and democratic principles.
Chapter V, "Teaching Tolerance," is a must read in order to understand how Tolerance and Civil Discourse have been usurped by categories like "justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion." Our schools are producing self-centered children and adults who are ruled by emotion and whose beliefs cannot be challenged—the very definition of intolerance.

The author undertakes an even-handed, nuanced analysis by considering important differences among Muslims, looking carefully at the statistical data on Muslim beliefs and practices from numerous polls, and analyzing the ingredients which would be required to bring about cultural and political change. Unlike some presentations on this topic Dr. DiPuccio avoids hype, exaggeration, inflammatory language, and highly emotional appeals.
The book concludes by examining actual instances in which Islamists are changing, or might be changing, Western culture in regards to free speech, religious hatred and violence, antisemitism, education, and entanglements with Islamic extremism.
With 70 illustrations (including tables and graphs), and over 180 linked citations, Can Islam Transform the West? is written to raise awareness by presenting the facts and allowing readers to make up their own minds.
