If you aren't using other 'overrides', you may as well use check_box_tag. This would clean up your code and give you extra flexibility when setting the check box initial value.

# View
<% form_for [:admin, @post] do |f| %>
…

<%= label_tag(:skip_queue, 'Skip queue') %>
<%= check_box_tag(:skip_queue) %>

…
<% end %>

# Controller
# access the property
params[:skip_queue]
