So, coming entirely new to a framework, you have a single problem, and
this makes it a 'very bad experience'? Maybe you should get a sense of
proportion.
In the meantime, the documentation on BooleanField is quite clear:
"Validates that the check box is checked (i.e. the value is True) if
the field has required=True."
And the box underneath explains further:
"Since all Field subclasses have required=True by default, the
validation condition here is important. If you want to include a
checkbox in your form that can be either checked or unchecked, you
must remember to pass in required=False when creating the
BooleanField."
So, since you want the value to be False, you need to pass in
required=False in your declaration.
