It depends on the sense of context.. If you treat "parents" as 2 separate entities( Dad and Mom ), then you will use are and if you treat "parents" as 1 single unit , you would use is.

You need to look up the section on countable versus uncountable nouns:

None of the water is drinkable.
None of the books are readable.
