Rails unable to save unchecked checkbox

I just noticed that when a user attempts to remove a check on a form it's actually not maintaining the state.

My form looks like the following (with Slim)

=f.tb_label :marketing_systems
=hidden_field_tag 'course_group[marketing_systems][]', nil
.col-sm-10
 .multi-select
  table
   tbody
    -MarketingSystem.ordered.each do |system|
     -input_name = "course_group_marketing_system_#{system.id}"
     tr
      td = check_box_tag 'course_group[marketing_system_ids][]',
                 system.id,
                 @course_group.marketing_systems.include?(system),
                 id: input_name

I thought with setting a nil on the hidden tag field that it would push that when empty. However it's not. Do I have something set up wrong with the check_box_tag that's not passing empty?

I've tried putting the arguments in parenthesis and putting, checked = false on the check_box_tag but that didn't work. If I add in value = 0 then it's throwing an issue with too many arguments. I'm just looking to update the data with removing the system.id if it's been unchecked.

Just use collection_check_boxes instead.

= form_for(@course_group) do |f|
  .col-sm-10
   .multi-select
     table
       f.collection_check_boxes(:marketing_systems, :id, :name) do |b|
         tr
           td
             = b.label
           td
             = b.check_box
