Rails form passing false as default value for boolean while submitting

I want to submit false as a default value for rails form while submitting it.

But however after submitting i am getting null as a default value.

The code is below

<%= f.check_box :known, {}, "false" %>

The column name is known for the table name notes

Can anyone help me on this please?

As suggested by @Jon, If you always want false as the default value, you should set it as the default value in the database. The below migration code does that.

change_column :notes, :known, :boolean, default: false

And if you want to give the user an option to change it to true, then specify the check_box like below.

<%= f.check_box :known, {}, "true", "false" %>
